The more times I read this book, the more I like it. This is one of the less plot plot-heavy IPB books, but in exchange the character work developing Ariana and Zolaya is phenomenal. Their son Analay is adorable, too, with his emerging “knowing” powers. There are some timeline inconsistencies with the other books. Without them, I would probably give this a full five stars.

Honestly, love that Dixon included someone experiencing mental health struggles, loved going back to our gang when they were at the beginning of the series, had a good time learning that Ariana's kid is also maybe psychic...but Ariana and Zolaya are still like a B-list couple at best in terms of IPB lore.
